Each month, the folks who create the excellent audio dramas at Big Finish Productions run an open participation discussion called The Listeners, in which they discount a play for download and ask the audience to weigh in with their opinions…
April’s Listeners title is one of mine – Double Zero, an entry in the Judge Dredd: Crime Chronicles series starring Toby Longworth as Dredd, and Doctor Who’s Louise Jameson as Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson from the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic 2000AD! The story will be available at just £2.99 on digital download until the end of the month.
Double Zero: on the Mills-Wagner scale of psychic potentiality, this rating is ranked as the lowest possible level of human telepathic receptability and/or psionic ability. [See also: mind-blind; mundane; pariah effect, brain burn] – Excerpt from the Justice Department Psi-Division Operations Manual.
When a strange premonition draws Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson to her fellow law officer Joe Dredd, what begins as an inkling of something sinister soon becomes a matter of life and death.
With telepathic secret agents from a dozen city-states infiltrating the Big Meg in search of a psychic weapon called ‘the pariah’, Anderson and Dredd find themselves in a race against time to save the life of an innocent child – with the power to start a war.
